WA-27 DotWelder

A Dot Welder is a 60 cycle, single phase, alternating current transformer equipped with the necessary controls to electrically fuse new metal pellets to the base metal in the repair of molds, dies and other surfaces where a smooth finish is required. Its function is somewhat similar to the of a conventional spot welder but does not require the complex sequence timing and forging pressure necessary for spot welding.

Basically the transformer changes the line voltage to a low open circuit voltage as a result of the ratio of wire turns and consequently gives rise to a very high amperage in the secondary leads. This high current density in the secondary line creates the useful heat for fusing the pellet into the base metal.
The voltage is only 3 to 6 volts AC and when all circuit components are functioning properly it is impossible
to receive a shock from this low voltage. An additional non-current carrying green wire is included for safety.

  • Restore and repair plastic molding dies, injection dies.
  • Salvage precision rollers, dies, pistons and cylinders.
  • Fill imperfections prior to plating, grinding, etc.
  • Repair foundry castings.
